Trip To Hawaii eBook

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A trip to the Hawaiian Islands from San Francisco in one of the Oceanic Company''s United States and Royal Mail steamships, is perhaps, the most enjoyable in the whole possible range of sea excursions. The distance, 2100 miles, is invariably covered by these superb vessels in seven days. A three thousand ton steam ship, fitted with every modern convenience, and capable of run ning sixteen knots an hour, sails twice a month from the Oceanic Company''s Wharf, foot of Folsom street, San Francisco, for Hono lulu, and returns at similar stated intervals, thus giving practically a fortnightly steamer service between the Pacific Coast and the Hawaiian Islands.
